Sparsity-Cone SDP Relaxations and Applications to Variable Fixing for Sparse Quadratic Programs

Di Hou, Thai P. D. Nguyen, Kim-Chuan Toh +1

Quadratic programs (QPs) with sparsity constraint are generally NP-hard, and their efficient global solution depends crucially on tractable tight convex relaxations. In this paper,…

A preconditioned augmented Lagrangian method for solving semidefinite programming problems

Tianyun Tang, Kim-Chuan Toh

In this work, we propose a preconditioned augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) for solving semidefinite programming (SDP) problems. The preconditioner is implemented via a weighted pe…

Gradient flow for finding E-optimal designs

Jieling Shi, Kim-Chuan Toh, Xin T. Tong +1

The -optimality criterion for a regression model maximizes the smallest eigenvalue of the information matrix and becomes non-differentiable when this eigenvalue has multiplicity…

Time-integrated Optimal Transport: A Robust Minimax Framework

Thai P. D. Nguyen, Hong T. M. Chu, Kim-Chuan Toh

Comparing time series in a principled manner requires capturing both temporal alignment and distributional similarity of features. Optimal transport (OT) has recently emerged as a…

A Low-rank Augmented Lagrangian Method for Polyhedral-SDP and Moment-SOS Relaxations of Polynomial Optimization

Di Hou, Tianyun Tang, Kim-Chuan Toh

Polynomial optimization problems (POPs) can be reformulated as geometric convex conic programs, as shown by Kim, Kojima, and Toh (SIOPT 30:1251-1273, 2020), though such formulation…

A Quadratically Convergent Alternating Projection Method for Nonconvex Sets

Nachuan Xiao, Shiwei Wang, Tianyun Tang +1

In this paper, we consider the feasibility problem, which aims to find a feasible point for the constraint set over a possibly non-regular subset…
